Well, Nero would have been a baby when Vergil was like 12. Vergil wouldnt be giving a baby/child at any point. Vergil was in Hell for 9 years and control by Mundas. There isn't a logical point for them to meet up and exchange anything. Also if he met Vergil he would recognize Dante and Yamato.

Magic in DMC refers to uses of demonic energy as well as spells/mystical runes/wizardry. Summoned Swords refer to use of demonic energy. It's a technique. Charge shots are also described as magic but lack incantations, spells, or concoctions. Dark Slayer is his own abilities, not magic, much like Dantes Air Trick/Drive/Round Trick.
